SUMMARY:Quantum Computing: Hands On! - University of Leeds
DESCRIPTION:University hosting: University of Leeds \nLocation: University of Leeds Campus \nEvent Information: Quantum mechanics is the most accurate physical theory governing the behaviour of the Universe at tiny length scales. During the 20th century\, quantum mechanics allowed us to understand the atomic structure of matter and it led to vital practical applications such as high-precision clocks\, lasers and computers. In recent years\, it has been realised that we have only scratched the surface of quantum phenomena and major efforts are under way to harness the full power of quantum mechanics\, with the goal of creating “quantum technology” of unprecedented power. This session will present a modern introduction to quantum mechanics\, focusing on its practical applications such as learning how to programme a quantum computer recently developed by IBM. Suitable for: Students with general knowledge of maths and physics. \nThis event is suitable for: Year 12 \nHow to book a place: To book a place on this event please email rops@leeds.ac.uk \nRecording your attendance on the RO student hub: After attending\, please email rops@leeds.ac.uk.

SUMMARY:Maps\, People and Perspectives: seeing the world from the other side - University of Leeds
DESCRIPTION:University hosting: University of Leeds \nLocation: University of Leeds Campus \nEvent Information: Have you ever wondered why people have such different ideas about the planet that we live on? Why some people think the earth is flat\, others see London as the centre of the map\, and how one patch of sea can be both the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of America? Sometimes we need to step into someone else’s shoes to see how they see the world. In this session you will explore how maps can be a tool to do that\, first through examining our own position\, and then through trying to understand someone else’s. You will look at maps from across time and space\, and use evaluative skills to discuss why these might not be ‘right’ or ‘wrong’\, but representative of different ways of seeing this earth we share. You will leave the session looking at Google Maps completely differently. \nThis event is suitable for: Year 12 \nHow to book a place: To book a place on this event please email rops@leeds.ac.uk \nRecording your attendance on the RO student hub: After attending\, please email rops@leeds.ac.uk.
